According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Warriors’ superstar Klay Thompson will not play in Game 3 of the NBA Finals due to a hamstring injury which he suffered during Game 2. League sources also indicated that veteran Shaun Livingston will start in the place of Thompson.
According to multiple reports, both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson will, in fact, play tonight versus the Houston Rockets in Game 1. Both were marked as “questionable” on the injury report today after the pair suffered ankle injuries in the final game of their round 1 series, one in which the Warriors defeated the up-and-coming Los Angeles Clippers three games to two.
